Pretty white rocks all in a row
A demon within, your very soul
I’ve already signed away my life
This disease has taken its toll
Yet I gallantly watch the smoke
As it lingers in front of my face
And each and every time I inhale
The devil puts me in my place
The rules of addiction are nil
Nobody knows just how it comes
One day you are just a normal girl
The next day under an evil thumb
Smoking cocaine sounds so disgusting
But after just one hit, you’ll be back
Soon you’ll begging, pleading and stealing
Just to get another piece of that crack
You’ll see her in your dreams
She’ll mess with your sleep
Once she’s taken over your life
The cravings will make you weep
Are parents, friends constantly on your ass?
Do they think you’ve reached the bottomless pit?
They can preach all they want, but until YOU want it
YOU WILL NEVER EVER QUIT!

This is well written with a lot of emotion. I like the details that you've included. Also, it's so true that you really can't quit unless you actually want to. Thanks for entering.

Tears of my past come as I read this write as I know this addiction all too well along with others and bi-polar my heart goes out to you and as Arkbear says I am only a click away I have 3yrs clean from crack and no lie its not been easy oh hell its still not easy I still think of the sh** what has worked for me is One Day AT A Time and saying not today maybe tomorrow I'll smoke I stay really, really, busy and Praying to God thanking him for another clean day and then in the morning Praying for the strength to stay clean for just another day I hope the best for you, recovery is possible if I can do it really any one can

On one of my trips to buy a $50 rock, I was about to slice it so I could turn my Dealers onto a line, and wouldn't you know it, it slipped and went on the floor....or, somewhere ~
The problem, was they had had popcorn, at some point between last cleaning of their small room apartment, and trash bags were by the kitchen table.....open.....and dirty clothes from kids all over the floor......and, yup....perfect size pieces of popcorn to disguise my rock ~
I mean, what else do addicts have time for, except to microwave a bag of popcorn........or.....mac & cheese......and yes, there was plenty of that in their trash bags ~
We searched.....and searched......................and searched, until they said, hey, sorry, you gotta leave ~
Well, wouldn't you know it, I came back day after day, looking through their trash bags at the backdoor of their apartment.....searching.......and searching...........................and searching ~
I never found it, but I did find one thing........................my addiction ~
I can still see myself clear as day.....going through their trash.....picking up each piece of popcorn, HOPING, it was my rock ~
I was devestated to say the least......had no more money......my weight had gone from 200 to 135 over a period of only 3 months.....I couldn't even eat a banana, I was afraid I'd lose my high..........my face looked as though a bomb had went off......picking from last weeks crack high ~
Your poem has touched me deeply......I am soooo blessed this fine day to have read this.....God bless you, and remember, if you ever need anything, just ask.....I'm only a click away,
Bear ~
